In the STEP UP trial, the higher dose of Wegovy® (semaglutide 7.2 mg) demonstrated a mean weight loss of 21%, with a third of participants losing 25% or more of their body weight compared to placebo at 72 weeks.1 'The STEP UP trial demonstrated that we can increase the dose of semaglutide and achieve greater weight loss than previously seen, and in line with semaglutide's established safety profile. This may offer another option to people who do not attain their weight goals,' said Sean Wharton, lead study author and medical director of the Wharton Medical Clinic, Canada. 'We are already aware that semaglutide can have health benefits for people with heart disease, liver disease, knee osteoarthritis, type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. These findings help to give patients with obesity more options for improvements in their weight and overall health.'

'With these results, semaglutide reaffirms its significant weight loss for people with obesity. The STEP UP trial delivers a substantial weight loss of over 20%, in addition to health benefits previously demonstrated with semaglutide,' said Ludovic Helfgott, executive vice president of Product & Portfolio Strategy at Novo Nordisk. 'As pioneers in obesity, we continue to develop new innovative treatments to fit the needs and preferences of people living with obesity. This includes maximising the value of semaglutide for individuals, healthcare systems and society, and developing a new oral formulation of Wegovy® that, pending FDA approval, can become the first GLP-1 pill to offer double-digit weight loss.' In the STEP UP trial, semaglutide 7.2 mg demonstrated a well-tolerated safety profile consistent with previous Novo Nordisk semaglutide trials.1 The most common adverse events were gastrointestinal, and the vast majority were mild to moderate during dose escalation and diminished over time, consistent with the GLP-1 class.1 In STEP UP, 3.3% of people treated with semaglutide 7.2 mg discontinued due to gastrointestinal adverse events, compared to 2.0% with semaglutide 2.4 mg and 0% with placebo.1 Novo Nordisk expects to file the higher dose of Wegovy® for a label update in the EU in the second half of 2025, followed by regulatory submissions in other markets where Wegovy® is already approved.

About the STEP UP trials Novo Nordisk has completed two trials, STEP UP and STEP UP T2D, investigating the efficacy and safety of semaglutide 7.2 mg in people with obesity with or without type 2 diabetes. The 72-week STEP UP trial was a randomised, double-blinded, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, superiority trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of semaglutide 7.2 mg compared to semaglutide 2.4 mg and placebo as an adjunct to lifestyle intervention. The trial included 1,407 adults with a BMI ≥30 kg/m2 without diabetes. The primary objective was to demonstrate superiority of semaglutide 7.2 mg against placebo on weight loss. Key confirmatory secondary endpoints included the number of participants achieving 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% weight loss, respectively. The 72-week STEP UP T2D trial investigated semaglutide 7.2 mg in 512 adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes, with the primary objective to demonstrate superiority of semaglutide 7.2 mg against placebo on weight loss.

Higher max dose guidance for semaglutide offers hope
When the scale won't budge, STEP UP! Higher-dose weight loss injections now available. A new study increases max-dose guidance for semaglutide. This offers hope for those who didn't reach their weight goals. The Injection and Infusion Clinic of ABQ now provides higher-dose weight loss injections, backed by the STEP UP trial, which showed 20.7% average weight loss with higher-dose semaglutide. 33.2% of participants lost over 25% of their body weight. Ideal for those who plateaued, this science-backed treatment supports long-term weight management with personalized care. Albuquerque, NM - Feb 10, 2025 - The Injection and Infusion Clinic of ABQ is excited to announce the availability of new higher-dose weight loss injections as supported by the recent findings of the STEP UP clinical trial. These advanced treatment options are now available to patients in Albuquerque and beyond, offering renewed hope for those who didn't achieve results previously on the standard doses. The STEP UP trial, a pivotal 72-week study, demonstrated remarkable outcomes for patients using the higher-dose semaglutide. Participants experienced an average of 20.7% total body weight loss, significantly exceeding the results seen with the standard 2.4 mg dose. This new dosing option is a game-changer for individuals seeking long-term, effective solutions to manage their weight and improve overall health. 'The STEP UP trial results are a major breakthrough in the field of weight loss,' said KC Raver, Clinic Director at The Injection and Infusion Clinic of ABQ. 'We're thrilled to bring this innovative treatment to our patients, especially those who've felt stuck in their weight loss journey or haven't seen success with other methods. These higher doses of semaglutide offer a proven, evidence-based solution to help people achieve their health goals.' Why Choose Higher-Dose Semaglutide? Patients who previously didn't see results or experienced plateaus can now benefit from this enhanced treatment option. Key benefits of the higher-dose semaglutide include: Greater Weight Loss: Patients in the STEP UP trial achieved an average weight reduction of 20.7% — a significant improvement over standard-dose therapies. Increased Success: 33.2% of participants on the higher dose lost 25% or more of their body weight, compared to 16.7% with the 2.4 mg dose. Science-Backed Results: Clinical evidence highlights the safety and effectiveness of this higher dose, offering new hope for patients who felt like they'd exhausted other options. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, a class of medications originally developed for diabetes management that has also been shown to support weight loss. These medications work by regulating appetite and glucose metabolism. The findings of the STEP UP study suggest that higher doses may be beneficial for individuals who have plateaued in their weight loss journey or did not achieve desired results with lower doses. 'The results of this study provide additional data on how higher doses of semaglutide may impact weight loss outcomes,' said KC Raver, Clinic Director at The Injection and Infusion Clinic of ABQ. 'Offering this option allows us to tailor treatments based on emerging clinical evidence and patient needs.' The Injection and Infusion Clinic of ABQ integrates evidence-based weight management strategies with individualized patient care. Those interested in learning more about the higher-dose semaglutide treatment can schedule a consultation to discuss their options. For more information, visit or call 505.445.4300.
